Loose meditation stones provide a ton of benefit to your meditation sessions. You can keep a bevy of different loose stones in your collection so you have a stone for every mantra, every mood, and every goal you need to meditate on. To use your loose stones, simply hold them in your hand, feel their energy moving from the stone to your palm, and practice your mantras or affirmations at the same time.
At Technalink we love the idea of having a stone for every meditative goal. Garnet stones for courage, Rose Quartz for compassion, Clear Quartz for clarity, or Tiger’s Eye for grounding are just some examples of must-have stones to keep in your collection. While keeping loose meditation stones is simple, you’ll also need to know how to care for your stones if you want them to remain with you through years of meditation sessions.
When storing your meditation stones it’s important to remember that not all stones are created equally. Some stones are harder than others, and when you store harder and softer stones together you may run the risk of chipping, cracking, or scratching your softer stones. For example, Quartz is considered to be a softer stone and when stored with a harder stone like garnet you could be risking damage to your Quartz. Soft velvet pouches or cloths should be used to store each type of stone separately in order to keep your stones intact and safe.
As you handle your meditation stones you’ll also notice that your hands will transfer oil onto the stone’s surface. While this isn’t necessarily harmful, this may lead to your stones collecting dirt and growing dull with use. To clean your loose stones allow them to soak in warm water with a little bit of gentle dish soap, gently wipe with a cloth, and then rinse. This effectively removes dirt and oil from the surface of your stones without risking damage.
Whether you’re drawn to garnet stones, fluorite, quartz, or any sort of stone, loose stone meditation can be a highly satisfying way to find balance throughout any challenge in life. With proper care, your favorite stones can remain with you for a lifetime.
